How to fill in the standard application form for private schools

The "Standard Application Form" is provided by the Student Affairs Office. Through a common application form, applicants can easily apply for the sixth grade to the preparatory or graduate school year in many private schools. Applicants can fill in a standard online application form electronically. The following is a breakdown of each part of the application and how to complete it.

The first part of the student information

The first part asks students about their personal situation, including their education and family background, and whether their families will apply for financial assistance. The application will also ask students whether they need an I-20 form or an F-/KLOC-0 visa to enter the United States. The first part of the application will also ask whether the student is an alumnus of the school, that is, the parents, grandparents or other relatives of the student have attended the school. Compared with similar non-legacy students, many schools provide a comparative advantage for heritage students in enrollment.

The second part is the student questionnaire survey.

The student questionnaire requires the applicant to complete the questions manually. This section begins with some short questions. Students are usually asked to list her current activities and plans for future activities, as well as her hobbies, interests and awards. Students can also be asked to write down her favorite reading recently and why she likes it. Although this section is very short, it can let the Admissions Committee know more about the applicant, including her interests, personality and subjects that excite her. There is no correct "answer" in this part, so it is better to write it honestly, because the school should ensure that the applicant is suitable for their school. Although it may be tempting for a promising applicant to write down her keen interest in Homer, the admissions committee can usually feel her insincerity. If a student really likes ancient Greek epics, she should write her interest in honest and vivid language.

However, if she is really interested in sports memoirs, she'd better write down what she has really read and use this article as the basis for her admission interview. Please remember that students will also attend the interview and may be asked what she wrote on the application form. This part of the application also allows the student to add anything he or she wants the admissions committee to know.

Students' questionnaires also require applicants to write an article of 250-500 words, the theme of which is the experience that has influenced students or people or figures they admire. For students who have never written such articles, it may be difficult to write candidate sentences, but you can write articles over time, brainstorm your meaningful influences and experiences first, and then summarize, write and revise the articles in stages. Writing should be written by students themselves, not parents, because the admissions Committee wants to know the real situation of this student and whether this student is suitable for their school. Students usually do best in schools that suit them. Candidate statements allow students to reveal some of their interests and personalities so that the school can evaluate whether this school is suitable for them. Although this once again attracts students to try their best to show what the school wants, it is better for students to write out her interests honestly in order to find a suitable school for her.

Parental statement

The next part of the standard application is a parental statement, which requires parents to write down the applicant's interests, personality and ability to handle private school work. In the application, students will be asked whether they need to return to school for one year, whether they need to drop out of school, whether they are detained or suspended from school, and it is best for parents to truthfully explain these situations. In addition, the more honest and positive parents are to their students, the more likely they are to find a school that suits them.

Teacher's suggestion

The last part of the application is the form filled out by the applicant's school, including the recommendation letter from the school principal, the recommendation letter from the English teacher, the recommendation letter from the math teacher and the academic report. Parents sign a disclaimer and then give these forms to the school to fill out.
